Hello all,
My DS is struggling to spot the type of maths question it is asking. (measurement conversion, mulitplication etc).
She generally gets them right given enough time. But what takes her the most time is figuring out what sort of question is being asked.
Once she identifies that she can answer it. But it's the time it takes before she gets to the arithmetic.
Can anyone suggest anything to help speed this part of the question up?
Many thanks
Accuracy over speed first.
After some practice with similar questions, she'll get quicker. My DS was exactly the same but I was pleased he was getting them right. After some practice he got bored as they were getting easier
We them moved to another topic and now revisiting the problems from before. His speed has not diminished so it does work.
Don't stress.
